Great location

Romany Rye is ideally situated in Sheringham, with the bonus of a car parking space. If you park up you won’t need the car again as it is just a short walk to the beach, steam railway, mainline railway, bus and shops. The cottage is very quaint and quirky but there are steps between levels so you need to be quite able. Ideal place to visit if you like a quiet holiday.

Wonderful location, and having parking on-site was brilliant. The property was very well equipped. However, it was a bit dated, and the beds were quite old. In comparison, returning home, we stayed at a Travelodge which had vastly better beds.

Cosy cottage

We loved our stay at Romany Rye. The cottage is warm and cosy and we loved its quirks. The location was perfect for us and our two young children. It's a 1 minute walk to the seafront and high street. The car parking space was an extra bonus.

Birdsong

Closest to beach we've ever stayed! Old fashioned but quiet with a lovely little sheltered front garden area full of birdsong. Helpful agents and owner. Friendly neighbours. Everything you need nearby ....ie a few mins walk away.

We had a lovely time, we have family in Sheringham, so love it there.

The location very good, really enjoyed our stay, but my husband who is disabled, did find the steps inside the house quite difficult. The fire alarm went off every time we used the toaster, so kept the back door open. But all in all really enjoyed our stay.

Brilliant stay

Lovely cottage very close to East Beach. It was clean and tidy with a quirky layout. Its a little dated but that is part of the charm for us. If we have to put a negative its the lack of WiFi. However, we found this only a minor inconvenience. Overall the location is excellent and the cottage is wonderful. We will have no hesitation is staying here again or recommending it to others.

Very close to the beach and own parking was a real plus.Not suitable for the tall or infirm as lots of steps in strange places but that made it quirky.Basic utensils only and a complete mismatch of crockery. Washing machine was useful and outside line (no indoor airer if wet)Convenient to shops and restaurants, walking 2 mins.Keys cottage who manage this property were wonderful to work with.

Excellent location with the all important parking space

First visit to Norfolk, and absolutely blessed with the amazing weather. Romany Rye is perfectly located for the beach, restaurants, pubs and shops. Yes, it's a little dated, and there is no WiFi but that didn't detract from the great holiday we had. Double bed in the main room was very comfortable, and neither of the kids complained about their beds so they must have been ok too. Couldn't find any information about the bins (recycling in particular), also had to guess how to use the washer but it wasn't rocket science. Hopefully we will return in the future

Needs money spending on this property

Stayed at Romany rye in sheringham.This place is very dated and needs urgent attention. The oven was filthy and has not been cleaned all year the crockery had chips on the plates there is mould in the main bedroom which is hidden behind a chair.The front garden is overgrown and made it difficult to use the front door. This place could be great but they need to sort out the issues it has

Family Summer holiday in Sheringham

A great location, however the cottage could have been cleaner. Filthy black bath mat in shower meant it hadn’t been moved good for a while. Cobwebs in many areas and greasy cooker meant that cleaning was often not up to a high standard. A real shame as the cottage has some lovely features and is superb for Sheringham, the beach and North Norfolk.

Great Location

Well positioned for the sea front, beaches and town centre. Property was clean, and roomy. Great to have a parking space. Convenient for the town and shops, whilst still being in a quiet area.

A place that has been excellent in the past but this time it needed a bit of an upgrade.

Parts of house had not been cleaned for a while dusty in places. Bed needs replacing. Window key needed

Great location needs updating

Best location in Sheringham with parking space but let down by uncomfortable beds, lack of internet and the supply of a video player (no videos in the property) instead of a DVD player.

Romany Rye cottage

We had an enjoyable stay at the cottage and all comfortable and clean. Close to the sea but not so your car would be swept away by waves - there was a Gale during our week. Great to have early morning walk along promenade. Amenities all walking distance. No Wi-Fi had its blessings for most of the time. Cottage rooms on different levels and one steep step between dining room and hallway to lounge and stairs for bedrooms. Cottage stairs as you would expect. Would happily stay there again.

Fantastic Location

Fantastic location just 2 minutes from beach, Cottage is a bit tired and needs a deep clean especially the curtains, the linings are badly stained. If that is done it would be lovely. It is not suitable for people with mobility issues due to very steep steps.

Disappointing!

Whilst the cottage is in a good location for shops and beach and is deceptively spacious it is in dire need of a complete up-date. The garden needs a little work to make it a pleasant place to sit and the garden furniture is basic and weather worn to say the least. There is obviously a damp problem inside and a very musty smell particularly in the television corner in the lounge. The shower in the bathroom leaks and there is black mould and a wet corner of the carpet. Who carpets a bathroom these days?! Similarly the kitchen is very dated and not overly clean. We realise that there are Covid rules to adhere to but a welcome message and some instructions for appliances, local information etc, would have been nice, even in an e-mail. Aah, no Wifi! We have self catered many times and have always been used to quality bedding and towels provided. No towels (which we were informed about beforehand) and bedding which was cheap and had seen better days. Such a shame as the cottage has great potential and the benefit of parking but really needs a complete overhaul to make it of today’s standards, homely, welcoming and a great place for a holiday.
